the latter day republicans In their
madness to strike down a colored
man who has mind enough of
his own to guide his political ac-
ton have reversed this order, and
have placed "a premium upon
slavery as against freedom. Just
what they expect to gain by this
move is not apparent, unless it be
their intention to force upon the

"You can count me as a Cleveland

readily account for the jealousy it

FICTITIOUS CAPITALiNA-
TION.

Hon. D. NJ. Sabin, of Minnesota, de-
llvered a speech in the Senate Fri
day February Is, Oh fictitious cap
ltalizatlon on watering stock in
railway construction. Mr.. Sabin
said, that he was instructed by the
committee on Indian affairs, 10 au-
thOrlze the Saltwater and Coake
City Railway Co., to construct aud
operate railway through the crow
Indian reserve.
The previous policy of the Gov
ernment III matters of this kind
would be satisfied 10y such lestric
tions as are calculated to protect
the Indian from any undue Ell
croachment upon his rights; bul
in my judgement, said he, the time
has arrived when Congress should
have "a care not Onl Y for the Indian
but the white man, whose property

This is the right step i'll the ri sht

FREEDOM VS.. SLAVERY.

Negro has no claim to recognition

one course 10 pursue, and that is,
to hit back through the ballot
box. The time has now come for
tie Negro to be a man or vassal.
The spectacle of the republican
M jority in the United States
Senate placing themselves on rec
ord as drawing the line in favor
of slavery as against freedom at
this day and time is a most re.
markable case of polite i degen-

Mr.. John j. Ingalls, of Kansas has
been elected president protempore
of the Senate by the republican
caucus. We congratulate you, Mr..
Ingalls, and hope that your ambi-
ton will lead you to become the
republican candidate for president
in '6S. And since you have no de-
sire to seek the vote of free born
negroes, they must ia the course of
human events find some other man
who wants them. We respectfully
request you Senator to read our

A MINISTERIAL BEAT.

There is pastor on 9th ST.. near
l. who is we'll known in this city
as a beat. He goes to printing off
ces and gets work done with the
understanding that he will pay af
ter his entertainments. He called
at this Office some time ago and
got several hundred invitations
printed for a reception 10 be given
by himself and wife. The recep-
ton was success and as soon as
the bill was presented to the
amount of S735 he informed the
Office TO sue him for the money and
returned the paper for which he
subscribe and with the corner s
burnt. This is the same rascal who
made false charge against Rev.
Dyson. The sooner the public
knows him the better it will be to
the community. All offices are
warned to look out for him. His
great hoby is the cooperative ca
pacity OF the negro. We are pleas
ed to know, however that the Ca
pacity Of all negroes is not to beat
their fellow man out of a just debt.
